Book Reviews of Deepsix

I enjoy these archaeological science fiction novels starring Priscilla Hutchins. The stories do not unfold in a typical larger-than-life fashion but usually are about personalities sorting out missions that take unexpected turns. Jack McDevitt is very good at creating real characters and real decisions. This book, however, was not his best in that regard, but it was still a good read about an exploration team's fight for survival on a living world about to be destroyed in a massive collision.

One freakin' good book. I got through this one in a hurry.

This is one of my favorite books by McDevitt. The adventure and drama are compelling and he does such a great job of world building. This was my first McDevitt book and I've devoured all of his other books as a consequence. He's one of my favorite authors. His books should be read in order because of the relationships that are built throughout the "Priscilla Hutchins" books. He has another series I enjoy with the main character of "Alex Benedict" and "Chase Kolpath". Great series as well. His stand-alones are worth reading as well.

A very satisfying read. Mr McDevitt will keep you turning pages as quickly as possible.

If you like Jack McDevitt, this is just like all his others; although I liked "Engines of God" better.
